Forgot to mention, got my new green dash and switch LEDs through the post yesterday so will be a good excuse to do a photo session while i fit them and a write up after if that's helpful for you?

Might be helpful to other folk if you start a new thread.

That's the plan if i do the write up on fitting the LED bulbs.

Thought i'd "test the water" first.

Well, that would spoil the surprise.............no seriously, nothing exiting. I too have bought the green dash lights, so Laird Scooby, get off our derrière and get the job done. Also just won a pair of new rear tail lights ohhhh. New front side light, ordered Swedish style number plates + volvo plate surrounds. Should all be here by next weekend, fingers crossed.

All the usual sort of stuff then?

Wish i was sat on my arms-reversed, been too busy for that! Hoping to get the green LEDs done tonight but that is only hoping at the moment - time will tell!
They're sat here ready for fitting, just need the time!

Yep, you could possibly be correct. Not a huge worry for me at the moment, as the heaviest thing I carry in the back is a dead bo......sorry, that's my other job, is the dog.

Cheek! As i'm having yet another bad night, i thought i'd find myself something to do and as such, here's the link on how to colour code switches and instruments with LEDs - have fun!

Meanwhile i'll make a coffee and guzzle some more painkillers.........

Excellent Dave, I will press on with mine now.

New plates arrived today, so whipped them on pronto........

OLD

What do you think ? Certainly better than the old ones, probably not to everyones taste, but I like them.

[Laird Scooby]

Definite improvement there Tony!

Not sure on the style of the Swedish plates as yet, hopefully you won't have any PC Jobsworths in your neck of the woods as they can get funny about different typefaces although i don't see yours should be a problem - it's mainly so the ANPR machines can read your number plate so they know what to pull you for or where to send the speeding fine!
